LOVE MONTH

LOVE...it's patient and kind and something we ALL need more of ALL the time!

It's been a sweet Love Month around here...

Traditions were kept...

Memories (and heart shaped pizzas and pancakes) were made...

Treats were consumed!

Crafts and cookies and cupcakes were made...

(So Nova...always leaving crafty notes)

(and making crafty things with the others)

(So proud...ALL by themselves!)

The Super Bowl was watched...

Special walks were walked...

(decades of friendship)

And birthday traditions (+ projects!) made me feel extra loved and special.

(Thanks guys!)

And it's our traditions, our memories, the LOVE that fills our home I cherish most.

(LOTS of baby kisses!)

I'm thankful for our Love Month and the opportunity it gives us each year to be reminded anew of what matters most, what covers offenses, how we ought to walk, what exemplifies Christ as we learn more of what it looks like to live and love like Him.

{ HAPPY LOVE MONTH }

"But the greatest of these is love."

Love my Valentine.

SWEET NOVA💛

This little sweetie pie has been SUCH a trooper!

Our first broken bone in the family (amazingly), and Nova has been so dear about the whole thing!

Yesterday, she got her real cast and will need it for 6 more weeks. We're praying for proper healing so she won't need surgery, and we're praying for her heart as she learns more about the Lord and His love and comfort through this trial.

...and Yogurtland!!

We love you SO much Nova Jade!!
